Pile of pure New Zealand 3ply wool, ca 10% acrylic yarn and artificial silk // Privy - Red by Jan Fabre, created in 2002, is a tapestry artwork woven from pure New Zealand wool with a blend of acrylic yarn and artificial silk. Measuring a substantial 300 cm in height and 200 cm in width, this piece is notable for its striking visual contrast and the artist's dark, provocative style. The artwork depicts an austere scene featuring ring-like objects hanging in a minimalist space, marked by strong black and white tones and splashes of dark red that appear to drip or pool, adding an unsettling, almost visceral quality. Fabre’s work often explores themes of mortality, violence, and the human psyche, with this piece likely challenging viewers to confront discomfort and the intersections of purity and brutality. Privy - Red demonstrates Fabre’s characteristic intensity, pushing tapestry beyond traditional forms into bold contemporary expression.

What is Shock Art?
Shock Art is an art movement that uses disturbing images, scents, or sounds to provoke a strong, often shocked, reaction from viewers. It is often regarded as a form of social commentary, with critics and supporters debating whether its impact is positive or negative. Shock Art frequently employs taboo, obscene, or outrageous elements to challenge societal norms and provoke critical thought.
